Hakafa means "encirclement."
We are a congregation of people:
No building, no board of directors,
and no fund-raising.
As our circle grows, our intimate,
casual, and welcoming atmosphere
remains. Hakafa is a circle
of caring people.

SCHEDULE CHANGES DUE TO COVID
Due to the current elevated numbers of COVID cases and hospitalizations as a result of the highly transmissible Omicron variant, Hakafa will be continuing with online-only worship, classes, and programs through the end of January. This includes Religious School and Hebrew School, which will also meet online-only through the end of the month.
We wish those who are ailing a r’fuah shlay-mah – a quick, complete recovery.
HELP FEED
THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY
On the second Sunday of each month, Hakafa volunteers are needed to provide one or more of the following items for A Just Harvest: the fried chicken entrée, salad, vegetables, fruit, and/or dessert. Hakafa’s tzedakah fund can reimburse you for expenses, if needed.
For more details, and to sign up to volunteer, click here.
Contact Hakafa member, Monique Parsons, with any questions.
